SOCIETY HISTORY

"Freedom and whisky gang thegither" wrote Robert Burns over two hundred years ago. It's a sentiment we uphold.

The Scotch Malt Whisky Society began life some twenty years ago when a group of friends clubbed together to buy a cask of fine malt whisky. It took a few years before they opened their doors wider and today the Society has three superb venues and over 20,000 members worldwide.

As a member of The Scotch Malt Whisky Society you can discover the very best single cask, single malt whisky available to mankind anywhere in the universe.

Only ever from a single cask, from a range of over 120 whisky distilleries, every Society bottling is exceptional. Capturing rarity and perfection in the glass, the Society's malt whisky attracts the curious and discerning.

Unfiltered, our exclusive members' magazine, expands your knowledge, challenges preconceptions and gives you a unique insight into our curious Society and the world of single cask, single malt whisky. Guaranteed to entertain and educate in equally generous measure. It is THE must-read if you are serious about single malt whisky.
